Question
Is there any way to implement a URL mechanisim in asp.net like it has in asp.net mvc
e.g. mydomain.com/user/myusername but without using the MVC
if so, how?
Solution
You do this by using the System.Web.Routing assembly
Here's a blogpost showing how :-)
OTHER TIPS
If you have access to IIS:
- If it is IIS7, the URL Rewriting module might work.
- Set IIS up to process ANY request with ASP.NET, and add an entry to Global.ashx
If it is Apache, use mod_rewrite.
Otherwise, you could use:
http://myserver/Web.aspx/url/1
or:
http://myserver/Url.aspx/1
and process Request.Uri.PathInfo
It has to go to a .aspx file somewhere, as otherwise it will not be processed.
I've done this in the past with ASP.NET 2.0 and the UrlRewrite.Net library
The only trick is that if you want it to work with paths that don't have aspx extensions, you have to configure IIS to pass every request through the ASP.NET engine.
I built a classic ASP.NET (I can't believe this term exists) application around 2005 that used rewriting, and this article on MSDN was very helpful at the time: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms972974.aspx.
If you're constrained to 2.0, or even 1.1, this may be the way to go, as System.Web.Routing is 3.5 only.
IIRF does URL Rewrite for IIS5 and 6. It supports Regex. Free. Open source.
